First Fireside 2019

Each Friday Night, our Manitou family gathers at Fireside for a peaceful and precious evening together. For years, parents have been asking us what Friday Night Fireside is like, so we thought we’d share a little video clip to give you all the Fireside experience! Because this video was from our first Fireside of the summer, we did not have camper candles, an honour given to a camper in each unit in recognition of their contributions to camp and values they stand for. Instead, we had our “Camp Is” speech ceremony, where we have campers speak about their past summers and what they want to say to new Manitou campers. On future Friday nights we will have amazing guest speakers who embody our theme of the summer “Don’t Stand By,” who will come and speak to the camp to inspire the campers and staff alike. Stay tuned for more Fireside updates during the summer, but for now here is a little glimpse of the magic of Fireside for you all…
